EBONY: The Black Wealth Issue with Tyler Perry

EBONYAugust issue swings wide the mansion doors, breaks open the vault, and goes on the record with Black America‘s best known but most private people to assemble the most in depth look at Black Wealth to date.

Cover man and many million-dollar mogul Tyler Perry opens up to EBONY about his new role in the upcoming film Good Deeds, and how this one-man empire overcame impossible odds to reach improbable heights. What brings him to tears? What happened with Spike Lee? What goes on behind the gates at TP Studios? Are there family plans in Perry’s future? EBONY has the inside story from the man himself.

Wealth does not have to mean billion-dollar bank accounts, yachts, and private hedge funds. EBONY sits down with the top financial advisors to the yacht crowd—because they obviously know a thing or two—and gathers the advice you should have at each stage of your life to stay smart with your money, Build Your Wealth, and Earn More Cash. Follow the 100+ Ways To Get Rich and maybe that yacht will be docking by you sooner than you think.

The EBONY editors take a hard look at green shoots in the Black community to compile a compelling and definitive analysis of The State of Black Wealth in America.

The lingering impact of decades of repression, the blow of the recession, and the effects of the mortgage crisis have forced Black America to weather a devastating past and left it stuck in a difficult present but the silver lining is there and the light at the end of the tunnel has never shone so bright. From that far end of the struggle those who have overcome are living well and serving as an example to everyone living “Paycheck to Paycheck” that the fight can be won and that progress is being made every day throughout the country.

EBONY scopes out “Where the Wealthy Are,” debates the virtue of “Buying Black,” checks out “The View From the Top” with Citigroup Chair and corporate fixer Dick Parsons, takes “A Welcome Respite” with Sheila Johnson at her sprawling estate, infiltrates the “Invitation Only” private clubs attracting the social set, and goes one on one with the Bronfman heirs.

From their penthouse offices some of America’s most influential executives, successful investors, and savvy entrepreneurs each reveal to EBONY “The Best Advice I Ever Received.”
